The reason this one gets so much talk is that it's one of a relatively few
byu wins in the former rivalry. Utah has several more to choose from. I still
like 54-10, although our beatdown leading up to our second bcs game was also
good. Six straight years with zero byu wins. Being better sure is better

This play gives me the chills every time! This game was awesome and I remember
the elation of watching it happen! Honestly I would prefer watching the Cougars
beat them by more than a couple scores this year, but history says that it will
be another close game. We'll need all the good karma we can get after
losing Hadley.

Hairline is still open and ute fans will continue to try to change the subject
to keep from wondering why he was soooooooooo wide open. I'm kind of
surprised that a fan didn't jump out of the stands and try for a pick-six!

I am a Coug Fan, but understand how you feel. That is
how I felt during the 70's, 80's, and early to mid 90's about the
Coug's dominance over the Y. I remember best the close games, including
the miserable "34-31" games. Hope both teams play to the best of their
abilities and that no one gets injured. I hope the Y wins and understand that
you feel differently. Let's enjoy the game.

@LifelongUteNot a very long life time I guess because I remember a lot
more great Cougar wins. My favorite is the 70-31 game. We (fans in the stands)
laughed and laughed when Utah would score because it just meant BYU could have
the ball again and it would be seconds before the Y could graciously give the
ball back again after scoring at will. The Y punter took a nap.Most of
the scores in the last twenty years are just close games that could have gone
either way so it's a fun rivalry. Thinking your team is special in a one
point win when the other team missed a field goal by doinking it off the upright
(has happened to both teams) is just silly. Who ever wins is just lucky,
nothing more. Utah has just been luckier recently. But luck changes so just
enjoy the ride for the time being.

Beck-to-Harline is THE BEST single play in the history of the BYU-Utah rivalry
made even more special for my son and I because we were standing in the middle
of the Crimson Club dressed in BYU Blue... the crowd was in a frenzy and the
noise deafening until Max floated that pass in the direction of Harline, then...
dead silence... except for four solitary figures screaming in the heart of the
Crimson Club.

Best play in the history of BYU is still Jim
McMahon's hail Mary pass to Clay Brown, which I also witnessed from high
above the field directly behind the end zone where Brown caught the pass
surrounded by three SMU defenders.

13 of the last 16 have been
decided by a touchdown or less in the closing minutes or in overtime and the
worm always turns; the Utes can't count on the majority of lucky bounces
going their way forever.

It was a great play. I have always been frustrated with Whit for not blitzing
more and pressuring the quarterback on obvious pass plays. Props to byu's
O-line for protecting beck and props to beck for avoiding the rusher. This is
what the byu fans hang their hat on. No doubt you can visit legacy hall and
watch that video over and over. We already know that 8 of 11 and 3 in a row
doesn't matter because they have a bigger stadium. Go Utes.

Cincinnatus, no one is disputing the win/loss record. We are disputing
"Utah is better than BYU" when the results look like coin flips. In 2004
and 2008, no one questions that Utah was better. In 2011, I have to concede it
too. Other than that, they have been equal teams, including "Harline is
still open", "4th and 18", and "George is still running".

I'll say the same for BYU and USU. BYU has been lucky and come out
on top in the past two years.
